Shapes & lines
Basic shapes are quick to draw and stay editable: change their size, corners, sides or points at any time.
| Tool | Key | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rectangle | M | Rounded corners in Properties. |
| Ellipse | E | |
| Polygon | Number of sides in Properties. | |
| Star | Number of points in Properties. | |
| Line | L | A straight segment. |
| Arrow | A line with an arrowhead. |
The shape tools share one slot in the tool bar — open it to pick a shape.
